SEED NOTES FBOM HOLLAND. 



, Writing to one of the English trade 

 .iournals, a Hollander said under a late 

 February date: 



"In general the farmers here prefer 

 to sow their summer crops early, and 

 some of them have alreadv sown beans, 

 peas and spinach. Seed growers at 

 Andijk are already planting cabbages 

 for seed. This early sowing and plant- 

 ing may cause heavy losses if we get 

 some days of sharp frost, but at present 

 the plants are budding. Several grow- 

 ers around Andi.ik are laying out gar- 

 dens to grow rhubarb. Kale crops look 

 well, and this article yielded well in 

 North Holland, but this culture is going 

 backwards in the Gron districts, as in- 

 sect pests destroyed the seed crops dur- 

 ing several years. 



"After a two years' slow trade in 

 nasturtium, a demand has again sprung 

 up for it, and the leading English 

 houses have placed contract orders in 

 this country. Large quantities of nas- 

 turtium are grown yearly on the Zea- 

 land Isles. Several acres of curled 

 Mustard Southern Giant will be grown 

 here this summer for the American 

 trade." 



Lily bulbs have two arch 

 enemies — green fly and too 

 much water. When lilies are 

 bad, one or both prevail as a 

 general thing. Of course, 

 sometimes the bulbs are at 

 fault, but 75 9^ of the time 

 they are not. Any grower 

 who permits his lilies to be 

 infested with green fly doesn't 

 deserve good lilies. He has 

 no more business to allow 

 green fly on his lilies than 

 he has to allow fleas on his 

 body. Again, a grower will 

 permit a greenhorn to water 

 the bulbs, whereas it takes a 

 man who knows how and 

 when. Any grower who buys 

 Horseshoe Brand Giganteum 

 Lily Bulbs and gives them 

 the attention they deserve, 

 cannot help but have first- 

 class lilies at any time of the 

 year, with a minimum of loss. 

 There are positively no better 

 bulbs grown anywhere in the 

 world and no one takes as 

 much pains toward quality 

 as the producers of the Horse- 

 shoe Brand Products. 



Of course, they cost more 

 than others, because they cost 

 more to produce. But they 

 don't cost more than they are 

 worth. Try them.
